Done deal: Eddie Howe Newcastle” officially sign kylian mbappe likened Turkish attacker” Ten times better than Alex saints maximin…
Eddie Howe is still looking for a flexible attacking player, and according to a recent source, Newcastle United is one of the teams closely monitoring a forward who made an impression at Euro 2024.
Finding a right-winger to replace and improve upon Miguel Almiron is Newcastle’s top objective this summer, and numerous players have already been linked to the position.
Graeme Bailey now told HITC that he thinks Newcastle is among the eight Premier League teams that have expressed interest in Baris Alper Yilmaz of Galatasaray. Yilmaz, a right winger by trade, was used as Turkey’s center forward at Euro 2024, and even though he didn’t score, he made an impression.
The list of PL clubs looking at Yilmaz is insane
The 24-year-old now has a queue of clubs lining up to swoop for his services with a valuation of £22million being what it would take to tempt Galatasaray into selling.
Yilmaz was part of the Galatasaray side that galloped away with the Super Lig title last season breaking the 100 points barrier in doing so with Yilmaz contributing six goals and seven assists to the cause in 37 outings.
If Newcastle want to bring Baris Alper Yilmaz to St James’ Park they may have to fend off Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Tottenham and Brighton. And that’s just the Premier League sides who are chasing him.
Yilmaz has been likened to some top talent
Yilmaz has been compared to Phil Foden, Gareth Bale and Kylian Mbappe which is quite the list of names.
His pace is outstanding and it would be amazing to have him on one flank and Anthony Gordon on the other, but we can’t help but feel that with seven other Premier League sides chasing him, including Champions League sides, we don’t stand much of a chance on this one.
There have been so many wingers linked so far, we still suspect the one we actually sign will be someone we’ve not even mentioned yet.
